Normally, good street art in London lasts a little while. This new piece by Conor Harrington (originally covered in my post Street Art: Conor Harrington), painted only a couple of weeks ago, did not last long at all. I am unsure as to why it was covered, but it possibly has something to do with violence; sadly, a lot of violence is going on in the world at the moment. The artist's work uses this theme quite often in his work, showing motion and old-style costume. The piece is titled "Once Were Warriors". It currently looks like the piece below, but it has more recently been tagged over.
Before the piece was covered with too much white paint, it looked like the image below. (Image courtesy of StreetArtNews.net.)
This wall/door has contained work by Conor Harrington for a long while now. I do hope that the artist comes back to London and paints something else here.
